Farg posted:Jake doesn't warp the reality of the game around his characters this way as much as Caldwell and Emily tend to, so this is a real treat. I feel like the mixed bag "ah gently caress it, we're only doing three episodes of this" energy is really helping him make some wacky choices. Pledging himself to the hunger god without a second's thought, for example.

Beef Jerky Robot posted:I have to clarify, Mavid is the worst character he has ever played, like on a human level, and he is absolutely killing it. Ah, yeah. Funny how it barely registers against Jens and Onyx tho.

It’s so good. Honestly I’d be fine if the main campaign took an extended pause and they just did this for a while.

Finished ep 4 and really enjoyed it. Especially Mavid. I really enjoyed Jake playing a little poo poo (ghoul), and the voice was so good. I think it’s up there as one of my favorite campaigns. (Which, how many have there been at this point? Campaign 1, Trinyvale, Hexbuds, Eldermourne, hot boy summer, blazing babe (the mavrus chronicles), Campaign 2, Twilight Sanctorum? 8?)

kidcoelacanth posted:welcome, friend, you have a long and excellent ride ahead. i recommend shelling out the fiver for the patreon short rests, they're amazing companion pieces to each ep If you think you can afford it, the next tier up for the mixed bags is pretty worth it also. Though I guess pay for the short rests and listen to everything and then you could go back.

Calexio posted:I'm going through all the old 8-bit Book Club episodes (more talk about cum than you might expect from a videogame book club podcast) and in one of the Warcraft book episodes, Emily says that she believes nobody actually likes brownies because they are always dry and what people actually like is brownies in sundaes. Which is just pure unbridled madness. The eight bit book club episodes are kind of like the short rest when it really goes off the rails, but it’s the entire podcast. It’s great.

Ainsley McTree posted:I still like other shows but it is striking how naddpod manages to hit that balance of funny/story while also being generally quite faithful to the rules and mechanics of d&d. some of the other shows I listen to (dungeons and daddies and rude tales of magic) are pretty open about their willingness to throw the handbook in the garbage when it gets in the way of what they’re trying to do (which, fair enough imo, they’re putting on a show first and foremost) and it’s impressive that naddpod does what it does mostly within those confines. I think NADDPOD and D20 have a nice balance of being funny, respecting the rules, and actually wanting to play D&D. The thing that gets me about Dungeons and Daddies and Rude Tales is that there’s this underlying current of “Ugh D&D is stupid”. Which, fine, but then why even pretend? Daddies is especially frustrating because it feels like their lack of understanding of the rules can result in a less interesting story. The rules are there to provide guidelines. Guidelines give you direction, a space to play in, and allow the dice to help tell the story. Knowing the rules helps you, and it started to feel like they were missing opportunities because they don’t know them. I also feel like Daddies is just a bunch of guys going “NO, WHAT HAPPENS IS…” (I feel like Beth is better about not doing that). But also different strokes and all that.

Ainsley McTree posted:I love all of Zac's characters, he has a very particular vibe. We're watching unsleeping city now on dimension 20, and I thought I liked Ricky Matsui (the heroic firefighter who's basically a human golden retriever) in season one, but his relationship with Murph's season 2 character is on another level The clip of Ricky Matsui’s “confession” gets me every time

Weird Pumpkin posted:I don't think I've ever seen pictures of the cast and man it feels really, really weird seeing them. My friend, there is so much Dimension 20 for you to go watch. (I guess it’s just Emily and Murph, but still). I’m also curious if you’ve ever seen an old CollegeHumor sketch with Jake in it.

I think that the NADDPOD special sauce is the balance of lighthearted goofs with fairly faithful to RAW role playing. Eldermourne is clearly an attempt to do something darker and more serious. I think it strayed too far from their strengths, and so wasn’t as successful as C1. Which is not to say it’s bad or not worth listening to. I think there’s a lot of cool stuff in there (and of course, the hexbuds). C3 clearly returns to their roots and realigns with their strengths. I give them a lot of credit for trying something new, not letting it go on for too long and then pivoting back to their original campaign. The pivot back to Bahumia was also done in such a way that they’ve given themselves space to continue to break new ground, rather than just keeping on with the same characters, or even the same time period. All of that is difficult to do IMO. I think it takes a lot of skill and savvy.

timp posted:Goddamn, they were working so hard to carry that episode of Dungeon Court (haven’t heard the Short Rest yet but I’ll listen tomorrow.) the guests were good but it felt like they weren’t comfortable diving headfirst into the conversation without knowing the normal podcast dynamic, and Caldwell and Jake were both just turned up to 11 to make sure the output was quality and I really appreciated their dedication to the craft. I mean Nathan Yaffe has been on before and is a self professed fan. Karina was quiet though. Jake and Caldwell were working hard, but it was charming. Caldwell, Nathan and Karina were all on a recent episode of gamechanger. I’m sure that they taped the episode a while ago but it probably had something to do with both of them guesting.
